Fall Colors in Bishop Creek Canyon

By October 4, 2006Photo of the Day

I found incredible displays of turning aspens along this dirt road near North Lake in the Bishop Creek Canyon photos. I was stoked to find that I had this road largely to myself for several hours one morning, under bright sun, blue skies and brilliant trees, before two photography workshop groups rousted me out of my solitude with their tripods and minivans.
